Find the point(s) of intersection for each line and parabola:
-x+1=y
x^2-1=0

I already found the intersection points to be (-1,2) and (1,0). If this is correct, how would I graph this on a graphing calculator? I know y1 would be -x+1, but there isn't a y in the second equation. What would I enter for y2?

I'm also totally aware that I can graph this without a graphing calculator, but I want to figure out how for future references.  Also, my graphing calculator is a TI-84 Plus.
